How To Perform the Hip Extension

  1. Start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips.

  3. Slowly lift one leg straight back and up, keeping the knee slightly bent and foot flexed.
  4. Raise your leg until it's in line with your body, ensuring your hips remain squared to the ground.
  5. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
  6. Lower your leg back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of reps before switching to the other leg.

Pro Tips for Hip Extension

  • Ensure your hips stay level and don't rotate during the lift.
  • For added difficulty, you can use ankle weights or resistance bands.
